Balotelli scores on Man Utd, reveals ‘Why always me?’ shirt

Balotelli scores on Man Utd, reveals ‘Why always me?’ shirt

A day after starting a fire in his own house by shooting fireworks out of his bathroom window with some friends, the legend of Mario Balotelli continues to grow by proving that a late-night bathroom firework blaze can't stop him from scoring first in the Manchester derby.

And after he slotted his shot into the far corner from just inside the box, Mario calmly turned around and revealed an undershirt that read, "Why always me?" A riddle that is both easy and impossible to answer. The easy anwser, of course, is: "Because you set your house on fire by shooting fireworks out of the bathroom window."

Balotelli was, of course, shown a yellow for pulling up his shirt/revealing the message. It also might have been for being too entertainingly awesome for the world to fully appreciate.

UPDATE: Balotelli scored his second goal of the match in the second half with a tap-in off a David Silva cross 13 minutes after Jonny Evans got sent off for pulling him down just outside the box. Maybe if Wayne Rooney had started a house fire, things would've been different.
